One day l met an old traveller who
thirty years or more ago had Travelled
through Dakota extensively. This is
what he told me: "Dakota's wonderful
fertility now is due solely to the coming
of the rain. Thirty years ago, going up
the Missouri and near what is now Fort
Pierre. met an old trapper and asked
him if it had ever rained there. He re-
piled, Fifty-six years ago. He had
lived in the territory that length of time,
and while his remark was not literally
true, it indicated the scarcity of moist
ure. There was no such thing as dew,
and the alkali beds We're so heavy in
their deposits that in lieu of saleratus
have broken cakes of it off and made
biscuits from it. The sand storms were
terrific and the territory a waste that
seemingly nothing could ever reclaim. I"

WINTER IN THE NORTHWEST.

Warren Taylor, an old soldier, was caught
in blizzard in the Musselsi.ell and fri-htfuiiy
frozen III the hands AID feet. He died from
blood poisoning two days later.
Dan Lovey was lost in the 'Iusselshell range
and wandered for six days with nothing to
eat in the worst blizzard ever seen. He stepped
three feet to blanket horse, got lost and was
picked up by SOME cowboys week later.
Tony Wise and Swede named Martin
were at work on mining property on the side
of Sheep mountain early in January. A huge
avalanche swept down the mountain side and
hurled the men into eternity without mo-
ment's warming, burying them thousands of
feet below.
From Jan. to II of this year the degree of
cold was something frightful. Mercury ther-
mometers were often CONCEALED and spirit
thermometers were kept busy jumping from
40 to 60 below zero. Half a dozen times was
the 60 notch touched and once 6216 below
zero scored on the Saskatchewan plains
Curious phenomena sometimes attend a
snowfall in Montana. Near Matt Colenians
ranch, Jan. Is, the flakes were tremendous in
size. Some were larger than milk pans Some
flakes measured ID inches square and inches
thick For miles the ground was covered
with such punches, and they made a remark

The authorities in weather IN Montana are
the Indians. Once. about thirty years ago,
there was a terrible winter The snow lay
six feet deep in the Yellowstone valley, and
tue indians congregated about the old trading
post snow bound for two moons. This year
the snowfall was unprecedented. In some
localities it was anywhere from ten to fifty
feet deep. On the level, throughout the
National park and elsewhere, it was from
eight to twelve feet deep.
a number of deaths from cold occurred in
Dakota last winter Charles Schroeder, liv-
ing near Valley City, started from his house
for one GOO feet distant. A blizzard was blow

below. Not reaching home, his family and
neighbors turned out with lanterns, followed
his tracks i'll the snow all night and found
where he had lain down i'll straw stack and
then gone on. The next day the body was
found twelve miles away on the prairie, lying
its face, where he had fallen from exhaustion.
The body was frozen into a chunk Of ice.
Stage drivers had the toughest experiences
of their lives last winter. They were the
heroes of Montana. The frightful experience
of Fox and Montgomery on the Benton stage,
bound for Helena, will go down i'll history as
the worst of the kind. They were without
food and drink for forty hours. A stage
driver started Feb from Fort Buford for
Glendive. When seventeen miles out the
stage was caught in a blizzard and one of the
horses frozen to death The driver barely
escaped with his life.

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR

All over Germany exist what are call
"Spsrcassen Saving banks), which cor
respond, in measure, to the endowment
plan of the American assurance compan-
les. The best known is the "Wilhelms-
casse," named after the Emperor, who is
its patron. At the birth of girl, the
father and mother insure her (kanfen sic
ein) in such Case for as much as they
are able to bestow every year on the fu-
ture of their newborn baby girl. The
amount is paid annually. The Case lays
out the money in behalf of the insured,
at interest chiefly in real estate. In this
way the money sceumulates, and at
eighteen, or her majority, the girl is the
possessor of a snug little capital. This
will serve her to study any favored pro-
fession, go to some good conservatory, or
start in business; and last, but not least,
buy her trousseau, if she has chance to

THE TOWN RECORDS.

The town clerk recorded in the town
book the decisions of the Towns Mind.
There is no romance in his annals; they
deal only with the small facts that for
the day interested the husbandmen, who
were accustomed to think more about
their woodlands, crops, cattle and salt
marshes than about the social life of the
community. 1t must be confessed that
important man as he was, he did not al
ways write the records in scholarly
style nor in a readable hand. He was
frugal minded. His closely written lines
running zlgzag like rail fence across the
pages, reveal desire to be saving of the
book, and the formation Of his words
shows that no extravaganza could be al
lowed in the use of the alphabet. The
Wareham book testifies that one OF the
qualifications of some candidates for this
office was an entire want Of skill TO write
the English language correctly; want
which sore beset the men and women of
colonial New England, Notwithstanding
the compulsory school laws. But there
were exceptions; one of these was Jona-
than Hunter, the first clerk of Wareham,
who spelled his words like scholar and
wrote a hand that is easily read.-Nel0

Planting Large Trees.

With the desire to produce fine effect
as soon as possible, people want large
trees, and are often willing to pay a much
larger price for them than for those of
ordinary size. This, for the most part, is
a mistake. 1t may be that large tree
can be moved and transplanted, and that
it will then go on in its growth apparent
ly unchecked; but as rule, this is not
the case. With the usual management
in the removal and shipping Of nursery
trees there is seldom any gain by employ
ing large trees, and often it is a decided
disadvantage. This is,true, both of decidu-
Gus and evergreen trees. Medium sized
trees can usually be lifted with most of
their roote, and will start vigorously into
growth when transplanted, whereas when
they have remained six or eight years in
the nursery row, where they were first
transplanted, they will have roots extend
ing so far that they must of necessity be
much reduced in removing, and this will
give them a check which will require a
long time to overcome ick's Magazine.
